Non-opioid Anesthesia in Bariatric Surgery

Non-opioid Anesthesia in Bariatric Surgery

Opioid-free anesthesia is a new approach to anesthesia, described and used for many years. If it represents many advantages by reducing the side effects of morphine, its precise place in current practice and in terms of postoperative rehabilitation remains to be determined. Studies are not yet numerous enough to affirm a real benefit.

Obese patients are potentially able to benefit from the reduction in the use of morphine during surgery, in terms of quality of postoperative analgesia, side effects (respiratory depression, ileus, somnolence) and early rehabilitation.
